I have had a eating disorder since my early teen years... 16 to be exact, and i am now 43. I have just been told my iron level is low... and was wondering if this could have anything to do with my purging for all of these years. I have not told my doctor about this habit of mine because I am deeply ashamed of myself... If anyone else has know anything about this please let me know... ps.. am going to talk to my doctor on my nest visit

hey i don't know anything about it, but i really strongly urge you to discuss it with your doctor. don't be embarrassed! they've seen it all before, you know? anyway, it's really important to be completely honest, because it may affect the way your doctor prescribes things, treats things, etc. anyway, good luck!

thanks, i am going on the 15th of this month and made my mind up to tell him..

I hope you will also consider seeking treatment. Your ED can be stopped. You can learn to live without purging. The choice is up to you. Take care of yourself.
